I don't know about finnish keymaps, but this is the configuration I use
for spanish console localization:
- /etc/rc.conf:
keymap="spanish.iso15.acc"
font8x8="iso15-8x8"
font8x14="iso15-8x14"
font8x16="iso15-8x16"
(the "spanish.iso15" keymap is like the "spanish.iso" one, except that
the former maps the Euro symbol to Alt-E).
- /etc/login.conf ("default" entry):
:lang=es_ES.ISO8859-15:\
:charset=ISO8859-15:\
and type "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf" after modifying it.
Also, remove the LANG and LC_* definitions from /etc/profile.
- /etc/ttys:
Substitute "cons25l1" for "cons25" in the ttyv? entries. If you connect
to another machine which is not running FreeBSD, the "cons25" and
"cons25l1" are unlikely to be known. Use "ansi" instead in those cases.
Hope this helps,
JMA
